The good performance: Lille in the lead
Lille provided the essentials by beating at home Dijon (1-0), and took advantage of the unexpected disappointment of Paris SG in Lorient (3-2) to seize the leader’s chair in Ligue 1 with three points ahead on the Parisians.
The bad performance: Paris lets go
These are two extremes that were found on Sunday for the 21st day of Ligue 1: Paris, then first in the championship, moved to Lorient, 19th. But it was a different game on the pitch.
Paris scored its only two goals from the penalty spot, by Neymar. Behind, they were punished by Yoane Wissa (80th) then Terem Moffi in added time (90th + 1).
The goal: Léo Dubois’ stroke of genius
Already decisive in the derby against Saint-Etienne on the 21st day of Ligue 1, Léo Dubois gave the victory to the Lyonnais on Friday. Held in check throughout the match by Bordeaux, the Lyonnais finally won on a flash of genius, or luck, from Léo Dubois. The side surprised Costil in stoppage time with an improbable goal to bring the victory (2-1).
The sentence: Michel Der Zakarian, Montpellier coach
“We came back to 2-1, we could have equalized but their goalkeeper made good saves. We must go and seek victory by tearing apart. We have to put our heads right side up. We are going to raise our heads to seek victories ”

Montpellier went on an eighth game without a win, losing at home against Lens (1-0). The Lensois have shown realism thanks to their serial scorer: Gaël Kakuta. Montpellier must organize itself with the absence of its injured or suspended holders. And the good performance of Jordan Ferri was not enough to materialize their chances.
The number :
5
By losing against Monaco on Sunday evening (2-1), Nantes went on to a 13th game without a win, the 5th since the arrival of Raymond Domenech. And this is the first time that a Nantes coach has not won a single one of his first five games.
The trainer: Christophe Galtier
Winner of Dijon (1-0) on Sunday, Lille can now sit in the leader’s chair. Far from being brilliant, the Mastiffs were satisfied with a goal, scored by Yusuf Yazici to win.
The presence of the Northerners at the head of the championship may be surprising, but the solidity displayed by this team reveals that Christophe Galtier’s players intend to create the event.
